"Lord Madara! There's another fight outside, right in the Land of Lightning!"
Black Zetsu used the Mayfly technique to reach the cave where Madara was hiding.
Madara sat calmly on a stone seat, his eyes closed.
A few years ago, he had brought Hashirama's corpse to the Land of the Moon.
Originally, he had wanted to establish his base near the Land of Fire.
However, due to the war, he feared being discovered, so he came to the Land of the Moon, which was closer to the Land of Lightning.
It allowed him to observe the current situation in the Ninja World while remaining hidden.
"Who is fighting who?" Madara asked, looking indifferently at Black Zetsu.
He still maintained a certain level of caution towards Black Zetsu.
The other party claimed to be his will, created when he used Izanagi.
Initially, he didn't believe it.
It wasn't until Black Zetsu revealed a series of his childhood secrets that Uchiha Madara began to believe.
He couldn't believe that someone could have monitored him from childhood.
Moreover,
apart from being able to burrow, Black Zetsu didn't seem to possess any other powers. Uchiha Madara happened to need a pawn to help him scout the outside world, so he simply chose Black Zetsu.
"Lord Madara, it's Senju Hashirama and Mu fighting!"
"Senju Tobirama is being pursued by Mu. Senju Tobirama used Edo Tensei to summon Senju Hashirama, and they are now fighting."
Black Zetsu relayed all the information about the outside world to Madara.
Madara abruptly stood up from the stone seat.
"Hashirama is revived again?! And he's fighting that Bandage Man!"
Uchiha Madara's remaining left eye trembled slightly.
"Yes!"
"Just that Bandage Man alone? Senju Tobirama and the other three bastards aren't there?"
"Yes, it's just the Bandage Man and Senju Hashirama."
Black Zetsu nodded his small head, a bad premonition in his heart.
Surely this guy isn't going to seek revenge, is he?
Hey, if he dies, what will happen to me?
Then I'll have to wait for another opportunity!
"I didn't expect this, truly a narrow escape!"
Uchiha Madara gritted his teeth, slamming a fist on the stone seat, his eyes burning with killing intent.
Good, good, good!
He had thought he would consider it later.
But he never expected it.
Heaven actually gave him a chance for revenge!
"..."
Black Zetsu looked at Uchiha Madara, who seemed eager for a fight.
He didn't dare to contradict him.
Because he embodied Madara's will, if he showed any other thoughts, Madara would become suspicious.
"Although I only have one eye, and my strength and Chakra are not what they once were..."
"But Hashirama is also there. The two of us can unleash a power where '1+1 > 2'!"
Uchiha Madara immediately picked up his scythe and gunbai, and charged directly out through the tunnel.
"I knew I shouldn't have reported this to him..."
Black Zetsu's face showed difficulty, and after hesitating, he also used the Mayfly technique to follow.
At worst, he would just have to escape with Uchiha Madara again!
....
Meanwhile, Senju Hashirama had already been summoned by Edo Tensei.
"Tobirama? Mu?"
The Edo Tensei-summoned Senju Hashirama was initially bewildered.
He glanced at Mu, then at Tobirama behind him, and immediately realized that his brother had summoned him using a forbidden Ninjutsu.
"Sigh... you finally summoned me..."
"Have the Four Great Nations also declared war on Konoha?"
"Since you've summoned me, Konoha's situation must be very bad right now."
Senju Hashirama murmured.
Senju Hashirama didn't know that many years had passed.
He still thought it hadn't been long since his death...
"Big Brother, there's no time to explain in detail right now. Please, Big Brother!"
"For Konoha, for the Village!"
"Big Brother! Please charge forward one more time!"
Senju Tobirama said, gasping for breath, clutching his heavily injured abdomen.
Seeing Tobirama so badly wounded, Senju Hashirama immediately became serious. He had already lost Madara; he couldn't lose his brother.
Even though he was already dead, for Tobirama,
he could only give it his all!
Senju Hashirama roughly sensed his power. He now only had half of his strength from when he was alive, unable to use Sage Mode or activate the Great Buddha.
Although Edo Tensei granted infinite Chakra and could only be solved by sealing, it wasn't of much use to him.
"It seems I only have half my strength..."
Mu also sensed that Senju Hashirama was a completely low-spec version.
"Tobirama! You go quickly! I'll hold him off here!"
"Wood Release: Many Hidden Hands Technique!"
Senju Hashirama shouted, and then countless giant hands reached out towards Mu.
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
Mu clapped his hands together, and a pillar of Dust Release light instantly cleared away the Wood Release, then directly pressed to kill Senju Hashirama.
Poof!
Senju Hashirama's entire upper body was instantly disintegrated by the Dust Release!
"I won't let you escape..."
Mu used Dust Release again, and as the Dust Release finished condensing, he suddenly used Flying Thunder God to instantly move near Senju Tobirama!
"Dust Release: Flying Thunder God: Kill!"
Whoosh!
Mu, along with the Dust Release, instantly teleported over using Flying Thunder God!
Senju Tobirama was greatly startled, instantly enveloped, and had no time to use Flying Thunder God.
He never expected to die by his own created Ninjutsu!
"Oh no!"
Senju Tobirama's pupils changed, just as he activated the Body Flicker Technique.
Buzz!
A white light appeared!
In an instant, Senju Tobirama was atomized.
(PS: The original work does not explicitly state that Edo Tensei disappears after the caster dies. In the original work, Itachi only controlled Kabuto to release it, and the Third Hokage sealed the two Kage first before sealing Orochimaru.)
"Next up is you..."
Mu's gaze turned to Senju Hashirama.
"Did he escape successfully...?"
Senju Hashirama's body had only just recovered, and his vision had returned.
He saw that Tobirama was no longer there.
He had been keeping his sensory ability active.
He found that Tobirama had vanished into thin air.
Hashirama thought Tobirama had escaped using Flying Thunder God.
So he breathed a sigh of relief.
Little did he know, his brother had already turned into atoms and was inhaled by him as if he were air.
"Wood Release: Deep Forest Emergence!"
Senju Hashirama clapped his hands together, and immediately countless Wood Release structures grew to the scale of a forest.
Rumble!!!
At the same time, countless tree trunks like pythons coiled around Mu.
"You've gotten weaker, Hashirama!"
Mu instantly appeared behind Hashirama, and a Wind Release: Vacuum Blade directly slashed towards Senju Hashirama with lightning speed!
Poof!
Senju Hashirama's arm was instantly severed, but the Edo Tensei repaired it at an incredibly fast speed.
Upon seeing this, a bold idea came to Mu's mind.
There were multiple ways to break Edo Tensei.
One of them was to completely pulverize the Edo Tensei body using a Truth-Seeking Orb.
His Dust Release and the Truth-Seeking Orbs had a similar effect.
Could he use Dust Release to completely pulverize the Edo Tensei?
Mu immediately began to experiment.
"Earth Release: Stone Golem Technique!"
The stone giant created by Mu pressed down towards Senju Hashirama!
"Wood Release: Wood Golem!"
Senju Hashirama clapped his hands again, using Wood Release to resist the stone giant, while rapidly leaping on the Wood Release to dodge Mu's constantly attacking Dust Release!
However, the stone giant suddenly erupted with power, forcibly breaking free and pulverizing Senju Hashirama's Wood Release with brute force, pressing down towards Senju Hashirama!
"He is indeed much weaker..." Mu nodded slightly upon seeing this situation.
"Ha! Wood Release: Wood Dragon Technique!"
Just as the stone giant swung its fist to smash Senju Hashirama,
Senju Hashirama immediately used the Wood Dragon Technique, forcibly controlling Mu's stone giant!
"Dust Release: Detachment of the Primitive World Technique!"
